Except this weekend, I was just so worn out on Friday night, and into Saturday, that after battling the evil of Tesco. There was the chance of heading out into the countryside for more church and pub pictures, but in truth I felt like having a quiet day.
My team, Norwich, were on TV playing the might of Poulton Rovers in the first round of the FA cup. Although it should have been easy, the cup sometimes throws up surprises, and nothing could be worst than being on the end of a shock result live on TV. In the end, City ran out easy 7-0 winners, and so I could relax and listen to the Premiership games on the radio.
We sat down and watched a TV documentary all evening on the history of the Berlin Wall; it was very good and full of eye-witness accounts and archive footage. And the suddenness of its fall.
Sunday morning we got up fairly early for another Flickrmeet, this time nearer to home in Deal; and the plan was to meet up on the pier early for breakfast. Breakfast being sausage, bacon, beans, mushrooms, toast and tea. And we got to share it with our friends and swap news.
Once again the weather wasn't very good, cloudy with a chill wind, we wandrered around the familiar streets of Deal, me snapping away, before the cold got to us and the thought of a nice pint of ale whilst sitting beside an open fire won through.
And we were the first ones to arrive in the Kings Head and settled down in soft chairs and supped deep golden autumnal beers as our friends arrived one by one.
We went home for lunch, instead of eating out, and so we left our friends and headed the short drive home for toasted cheese sandwiches and a large cuppa whilst watching more football.
And that was our weekend!
